  1. And done. Unfortunately I couldn’t rag any higher up the back because of the way that the fabric gathers in, but I think it’ll work well enough…

  6. An excellent day of dance yesterday, so of course I failed to take any photos… just the right weather (hot but not too hot, slight cooling breeze not windy, not wet), sides quite different in styles, appreciative audiences, and very pleasant music session in the pub afterwards.

  11. I just realised that the Day of Lincolnshire Folk is a week earlier than I thought, so I might be able to go… I can’t find much info as to what’s on this year though - FaceAche has a little but no proper running order (though it seems from their website that Rattlejag won’t be dancing there this year). Will have to have a think about whether to trail up… should anyone have any gen I’d be interested to hear from you.

  16. Realised last night that based on who is coming/broken I’ll be needing to dance not just play at today’s day of dance. Why does this happen so often? We have loads of proper dancers, I want to be primarily a musician so tend not to dance at practice, then when there’s a big dance out I end up dancing though I’m not at all properly prepared… oh well, we usually get away with it!
    (Don’t mention the town twinning thing where I forgot the sticking to Deformed Rabbit!)
    (Yes, it is because people have lives and can’t all come to every dance out and then the people who can come get damaged (though at least that’s not while dancing, usually, just bad luck at home).)

    Anyway, I’m hoping that can borrow some rags from someone as of late I’ve been sharing a tatter jacket with a newish member until we get around to making more up, otherwise I’ll stick out like a sore thumb even without making any major errors! 😂

    Same goes for tomorrow’s Red Cuthbert Day of Dance at Bedford Fringe Festival, should any mastodonians happen to be there, though it’ll be a different mallard on a different melodeon… come and say “hi” if you like.

  31. A good time dancing yesterday, including busking our way through Bluebells for a massed dance - none of us having done it outside an Ale in about eight years - and my finally almost getting Bonny Green (no one actually really knows it, do they?), good crowd reactions, and a nice social afternoon afterwards.
    The one video I took on the day, of Hemlock Morris dancing Hell’s Bells, to follow…

  41. Yesterday’s Toddington Tour was a good one - having fewer pubs to get around made it that bit less of a mad dash…
    Anyway, here’s an authentic morris/folk experience - the legendary Barry Goodman performing the traditional end-of-the-tour song in the usual way:
